What is the Igloo Desktop Client?

The Igloo Desktop Client is an extension of Microsoft Windows Explorer and is used to display Igloo work areas as folders and files on your PC.  The most common operations performed on a folder/file within Igloo (i.e. upload, download, move, rename, reserve) can be performed from your desktop.

The Desktop Client also enables inline edit. To edit a document in the web application, click Edit Now in the preview window to open the file in a format-compatible application. Once you save changes, a new version will be automatically uploaded to the site, without requiring a download to your desktop.

The Desktop Client supports Microsoft Windows 7 and above, and can be enabled by contacting Igloo support.   

For additional documentation, check out the articles on how to use or install the client.
